One thing at a time. Fill it in and press Run.
The answer
From the register, with its date and source.
Nothing run yet. The answer appears here with everything this mini adds:
- The traditional Tamil Nadu units a deed or patta still uses: kuli, veli, maa, kaani, kol, muzham
- The full equivalents table at once, not one pair at a time
- Exact factors, the same ones the registers are read with
How this works
What it reads, what it needs, and how to read the answer.
Tamil Nadu land is measured in a mix of modern and traditional units, and a deed, a patta and a broker rarely use the same one. This mini converts between all of them with exact factors.
An amount and the unit it is in. Pick a target unit for one figure, or leave it as Any to get every equivalent at once.

Run it as often as you need. Nothing is deducted.
Area units convert among themselves and length units among themselves. A kuli is the Tamil kuzhi; a ground is 2,400 square feet; a cent is 435.6 square feet.
